On Friday, following a 14 year absence from late night television, iconic R&B, dance and pop singing superstar Janet Jackson marked her return with a memorable performance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” featuring none other than the man who put Reggaeton music on the map, Daddy Yankee.

Yankee, who hails from Puerto Rico and whose real name is Ramon Ayala, joined Jackson for the special debut of their first-ever collaboration titled, “Made for Now."

Looking like an African princess in full Afro prints and embellishments, Jackson brought the party to NBC’s Studio 6B in New York City along with Afro drummers and dancers for a lively performance choreographed to the mix of African and Reggaeton beats in “Made for Now."

Following the performance, Daddy Yankee took to his Instagram account to share a snippet from the accompanying “Made for Now” music video for the single that now has over 10 million views on YouTube in just two days.

In his post Yankee wrote, “It has been an honor working with the queen Janet Jackson. Our mission is to unite the world through music.”
